Groundswell Network Society — Invermere, BC

Project-based, paid per event

About Groundswell
We’re a community-rooted non-profit growing food, skills, and connection in the Columbia Valley. From our greenhouse to our permaculture gardens and seasonal gatherings, everything we do is about helping people reconnect — with the land, with food, and with each other.

The Role
We’re looking for someone who loves bringing people together and creating meaningful, well-run community experiences. As our Event Coordinator, you’ll take the lead (and support where needed) in planning and delivering Groundswell’s seasonal events — from early ideas through to the day-of experience. This is a flexible, contract role with compensation provided per event, based on scope and complexity. Timing will shift with the seasons and event calendar.

Help shape event flow, logistics, and timelines so everything runs smoothly

Coordinate vendors, volunteers, facilitators,



and community partners

Create events that feel inclusive, welcoming, and well-organized

Be present on event days to support delivery and troubleshoot as needed

You Might Be a Excellent Fit If You
